Application filed April 20. 1912. Serial No. 892.136.

To a w/zom it may concern Be it known that we, JOHN \Vi Banana andBENJATlllN ll, l\li\nsn.\1..n. citizens of the United States. residingat Vicksburg, in the county of \Varren and State of Mississi 'ipi, haveinvented certain new and usetul IlllPlfOFtlllUlll'S in Vapor Generatorsand Burners, of which the following is a specitication.

This invention relates to.thc general class of liquid and gaseous fuelburners, and especially to the particular class of fuel-teeding oilburners.

The object of the invention is to provide an oil-vapor generator and gasburner having certain novel and peculiar features of construction andarrangement of parts whereby improved results are-attained in this classoi: burners.

A further object of the invention is to n'ovide a simple. inexpensive,and perfectly operative apparatus for generating coal oil or petroleumoil into gas-as the latter is burned in or by thc apparatus for heatingor lighting purposes, and to lurnish such ap paratus as may beconveniently and expeditiously installed in or attached to an ordinaryrange or cooking stove! A still further object of the invention is toprovide a special arrangement of oil pipes leading from an oil chamber,which is connected with an oil tank or other suitable oil storage, andto furnish such chamber with an oil screen or strainer through which theoil passes to said oil pipes, whence the oil is forced to the overlyingpipes.

The object still further of the invention is to provide an oil checkdevice between the overlying pipes and the oil pipes for reducing theamount of oil to the smallest measure necessary to produce sntlicientgas for heating or lighting purposes.

Various other objects, advantages and improved results are attainable inthe practical application of the invention.

In theaecompanying drawings forming part of this application :---F.igure'l is a perspective .view showing-the application of the invention. Fig.2 is a sectional view of .same parts throughout the several the oilreservoir showing one line of pipes in elevation. Fig. is :vcrosssection taken through the reservoir and one of the valves, showing thepipes in elevation, partly broken away. Fig. l is a detail perspectiveview of the portion of a pipe containing the cheek device. Fig. 5 is asectional view ot. the parts shown in Fig. 4. Fig. (3 is a sectionalelevation of a n'lodilicalion.

The same rel'erence characters denote the views of the drawings.

* It should be understood that in order to make burners of this classpractically useful as a substitute for wood, coal, or other solid fuelin cooking ranges and heating stoves. the danger of oxplosion should beeliminated as far as possible. and the non-combustion of gas or vaporafter extinguishment. of the flame, which is a well known cause ofexplosion, should be avoided, this we have accomplished by introducinginto the'oil path or channel. means for reducing the How of liquid fuelto the generator or overlying pipes according to the pressure of oil inthe apparatus. and by arrangingsuch n'ieans in such position as torequire the oil to be raised or lorced through said reducer, so that allgas or vapor i consumed by the jet flame. aliter the supply of oil lromthe reservoir has. been cut. oil. notwithstamling the fact that thepipes between the reservoir and the generator or overlying pipes containoil.

In carrying out the invention wecmphn a casing 1, having a closed upperend. and a rcnmvable screw-cap l for closing the bottom of the. casing.and such cap is provided with a screw-nipple or stem 3, for connectingan oil supply pipe -l-,'leading from an elevated 0iltank or storageieceptacle The casing is provided with an oil strainer or disk (3composed of wire gauze or other suitable fabric. material secured in thelower portion of an oil reservoir T. formed by the casing. Twoneedle-valves 8 are connected with the oil chamber orreservoir7. abovethe strainer 6. and diametrically opposite each other, and said valvesare operated by stems 9 having the usual hand knobs or wheels 10,
